About the Book
A luxurious fishing and vacation resort located on an inlet from the sea in North Central British Columbia is anxiously awaiting the weekly resupply visit via a large tug and warehouse barge from Vancouver. Unfortunately, the large, ocean-going tug has been hijacked by unknown individuals who killed three crew members and threw their bodies overboard.
The resort is in a beautiful, isolated area accessible only by seaplane or water taxi and has trouble maintaining live-in staff. Management has solved the problem by utilizing illegal immigrants smuggled in from China.
When the bodies of the three crew members wash up on various beaches, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) initiate an investigation which leads to identifying the crew members and learning the destination as the resort. This further leads to the investigation of the immigrant smuggling enterprise.
Mainland Inlets poses the question, can the RCMP solve the murders and break up the smuggling enterprise?
